Arizona Moth - Crambus

Arizona Moth - Crambus
Pinery Canyon Road - Chiricahua Mountains, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
June 16, 2017
The best choices seem to be either Crambus cyrilellus Hodges 5373 or Crambus leuconotus Hodges 5371. I haven't found any leuconotus images, but discussion in BG under cyrilellus mentions leuconotus as a possibility, and the MPG leuconotus sighting is in the range in SE Arizona of my specimen (as is cyrilellus). On sheet with UV black light, submitted for ID help.
